精神疾病、行为控制及其伦理冲突

Mental Disease, Behavior Control and Ethical Conflicts

精神疾病的诊治 ,不仅具有基于治病的医学目的 ,而且还带有行为控制的社会目的和功能。因此 ,精神疾病的诊断和治疗的本身 ,与诊断和治疗的过程一样 ,需要伦理的思考和论证。在医生、社会和精神病患者之间的互动、而又充满矛盾的三角关系之中 ,医生对于社会和对于病人所承担的不同角色冲突 ,尤其需要伦理的审视。医生被赋予特殊权力的同时 ,也应被柯加与之相称的伦理责任。

Besides therapeutic purpose, the diagnosis and treatment of mental disease also function as the tool of behavior control and rectification. Accordingly, the diagnosis and treatment themselves, just as its procedure, must be subject to ethical reflection and justification. This is especially true with the conflicting doctor's roles as to their patients and the society among the patient-society-doctor relationship. Doctors, while empowered with extraordinary privileges, must be imposed corresponsive ethical responsibilities.
